Attack on Ukraine

It should be noted that late in the evening on February 22, an air raid alert was declared in several regions of Ukraine.

The military reported detecting enemy drones and warned that air defense forces were operating, which is why explosions could be heard in some areas.

More details about the threat of a Russian attack can be found in the RBK-Ukraine article.

It is worth mentioning that on the night of February 22, the Russians launched over 160 drones towards Ukraine.

As of 8 AM, air defense forces shot down more than half of them, although several dozen enemy decoy drones were locally lost.
